What happens when does close down senator, check the public record ,the property is owned by that company, how is going to affect you when out of state offenders could be coming , then how are you senator going to cover up your area is being the worst with gangs, assaults, and don't get your favorite cell phones! Blame game is your key campaign , I hope your voters support you when, you release more dangerous offenders in their backyards. Finally question head of budget , how much is state of Texas paying you to lead the charge , no that's not right it's your private donation that help make your vote.

Mineral Wells is a gang strong hold with over 117 cell phones found there last year. Underfunding the prison system and bringing in unsafe private prisons that take short cuts on staffing is why prison gangs are so strong in Texas and quickly gaining cartel status. Running underfunded, unstaffed prisons leads inmates to join blood-in blood-out prison gangs for protectIon leading to an increase in gang membership.

When you involve politicians with large sums of money, things start to happen. Isn't it funny that some facilities remain open despite their shortcomings? Yes, power & influence are at the top of this pile of shit.

People have seem to forgot that Sen Whitmire and Sen West want Dawson closed badly. West was even on the news last month saying Dawson WILL close. 25 special interest groups will also just not go away with out their voices being heard. Plus the fact health care and TJJD get less money through the house version will not sit well either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-28501095583852368442013-04-05T20:15:07.833-05:002013-04-05T20:15:07.833-05:00Anyone who thought that this year would mark a ret...Anyone who thought that this year would mark a return to sanity and adequate funding better get ready for bitg disappointments.
